Any tips on removing front wheel bearings?

One side the bearing is cupped and the other isnt. Use a 3/8 extension bar and smack the loose side. It will pop out eventually.

Matt i hate wheel bearings!

ive had to get 6 out this week! 2 from nc 4 from mrs CBR,

two bearings had to be bastardized by my dremmel i cut a groove out to get one BB out, so i could get the balls and inner race out, then once out i used and extension bar and socket to pop the other out, i then rebuilt the groove cut bearing with 5 bbs, and then drove it out the other side

was an absolute twat to get out. good luck fella,

Soak in some penatron overnight.

penatron - sounds like a machine guaranteed to give you more girth....

And maybe a heat gun... Aluminum expands more than steel.

Try heating the alloy with a heat gun then use some freeze spray on the bearing, You can get it at most motor factors, good stuff as it has a penetrating oil in it which flows into micro cracks that form when the parts freeze, or so it says on the tin. lol.
